Cultivating Immortals From Prison

Chapter 237 Nine Dead Lives

"Who?"

There was a knock on the courtyard door, Zheng Lin was puzzled, and walked over to open the door.

Gu Xiao also trotted to follow, expectantly said: "It must be Tangtang and Xiaowei, they came to look for me, Auntie, let me go out to play for a while."

Just when she came to the door, the little girl saw the monk standing outside the courtyard door.

The nameless monk has a kind smile on his face, which makes people feel like a spring breeze when they see it.

"So it's you, Master." Zheng Lin said with a smile.

Since the nameless monk indirectly saved Gu Shen's life last time, Zheng Lin's impression of him has changed a lot.

The unnamed monk nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Hi, Master Zheng, I have something to do with Master Gu."

Hearing this, Zheng Lin hurriedly took half a step back and asked the unknown monk to come in.

"Thank you." The unknown monk put his palms together and thanked Zheng Lin.

Zheng Lin closed the courtyard door and said, "Master, you are welcome."

The unnamed monk entered the courtyard. His appearance and temperament are extremely outstanding, his temper is gentle and polite, and he always has a warm smile on his face. Such a person is hard to be hated.

But this smiling face fell in Gu Shen's eyes, but he didn't feel the slightest warmth. Instead, he felt a chill in his heart as if facing the scariest monster.

The nameless monk's eyes fell on Gu Xiao, and the smile on his face became brighter, "Xiaoxiao little benefactor."

"Hello, Master."

Gu Xiao imitated the appearance of a monk, put his hands together and put them on his chest, and said seriously.

The nameless monk nodded with a smile.

Gu Shen watched the unnamed monk talking to his daughter, his face changed slightly, and his eyebrows frowned.The same words have different meanings to different people.

The simple words of the unknown monk sounded like ordinary greetings to Zheng Lin and Gu Xiao, but to Gu Shen's ears, there was a sense of threat, and even the gaze that led him to look at the unknown monk also occurred. some changes.

The unnamed monk looked at Gu Shen who was standing in front of the stone table, and said with a smile: "Benefactor Gu, can I take a step to speak?"

No excuse. Gu Shen took a deep breath, nodded, pointed to his bedroom, and said, "Master, please."

Starting from his own heart, Gu Shen's attitude towards the unknown monk is somewhat contradictory.

It has been a long time since the unnamed monk moved to Qiumingfang, and the two have been neighbors for such a long time. He has a lot of contact with the unnamed monk, and he has a good impression of this monk, and the last time he fought with Wen Xiao, thanks to Otherwise, he would have died at the hands of Wen Xiao that day.

It can be said that the nameless monk has the grace to save his life.

But in Gu Shen's view, even if you saved my life, I can't let me give it back to you for nothing.

If you come to take my life, then I must resist with all my strength, either you will die or I will die.

Although Gu Shen also knew that there was a big gap between him and the unknown monk, but this was not the reason for him to be caught without a fight.

On the one hand, he is grateful for the life-saving grace of the other party, and on the other hand, he also has the cruel heart to kill the other party to save himself.

Gu Shen led the unnamed monk into the main room, then walked through the hall and into the second bedroom where he lived.

The house is not big, but there is also a square table and two wooden chairs.

Gu Shen closed the door, walked to the wooden chair, and sat opposite the unnamed monk.

Gu Shen poured tea for the unnamed monk, then looked at him and asked, "I don't know why the master asked me for advice?"

Although I have already guessed that the unknown monk is the accomplice of Bai Wuchang who is lurking in the dark, this time he must come to avenge Bai Wuchang and find something, but at present the matter has not been exposed, if possible, Gu Shen also thinks more Give yourself some time.The second is that Gu Shen cannot be [-]% sure that his guess is correct. It is not impossible for him to guess wrong. If the deduction is really wrong, it is a good thing. He does not need to be entangled and conflicted in his heart, and he also avoids getting into trouble with the monk. This formidable enemy.

The unknown monk looked at Gu Shen, and said softly, "Bai Wuchang must have died at the hands of Master Gu."

Hearing the words of the unknown monk, Gu Shen's heart skipped a beat.

Before, there was still a sliver of expectation in his heart, hoping that his guess was wrong, the unknown monk might just be a monk who happened to live in seclusion in Qiumingfang, but after the wordless monk asked, this expectation in Gu Shen's heart was truly shattered .

Gu Shen restrained his smile, looked straight at the unknown monk, and said, "Yes."

He didn't hide it, and the unknown monk would not listen to his explanation. The monk's cultivation is advanced, so he must have already investigated the matter clearly.

At this point, if you still quibble and deny it, you will be looked down upon by the monk.

The nameless monk nodded and continued to ask: "The vertical eye is also with you?"

Gu Shen was startled for a moment, and then realized that the vertical eye mentioned by the unknown monk should be the red vertical eye that he threw in the crack of the stone tablet in Caomiao Village. He shook his head and said, "That red vertical eye is not with me. .”

The nameless monk said in a calm voice, "Where is it?"

Gu Shendao: "I put it in the Furious Mountain Range."

The unknown monk nodded, looking at Gu Shen's calm attitude, he was a little surprised and said, "You guessed my identity?"

Gu Shen said: "Is it difficult?"

The nameless monk was dumbfounded.

He looked at Gu Shen with undisguised admiration in his eyes, and said: "According to the rules of the underworld, you must die if you kill Bai Wuchang, but I really can't bear to kill you."

If you can't bear it, don't kill me? Gu Shen suddenly thought that this monk had persuaded him to enter Buddhism many times, and wondered if this monk would kill him if he agreed to become a Buddhist now?

But just thinking about it, this idea was suppressed, and the matter has come to this point, Gu Shen knew very well that even if he really agreed to worship Buddhism, the monk probably would not let him go.

Gu Shen secretly wrote down the word "hell" in his heart, which solved some previous doubts.This is an organization called Jifu. No wonder the person in the ruins of Caomiao Village wore a mask of Bai Wuchang.

Gu Shen also thought of the projection that Bai Wuchang summoned, and he vaguely remembered that Bai Wuchang called that projection "Yan Luo".

"The leader of this organization called Hell, could it be that Yan Luo?"

Gu Shen guessed in his heart.

He had seen that terrifying figure from a distance before, it was just a projection, it was so amazing and powerful, it was hard to imagine how terrifying it would be if the "Yam" himself descended!
Gu Shen didn't ask about Yan Luo, the first thing he has to pass now is the current test, if he can't pass it, everything will be over.

Gu Shen pursed his lips, still wanted to try, and said, "Since you can't bear it, can you not kill me?"

With a smile on his lips, the unknown monk shook his head slightly and said, "No."

Gu Shen coughed lightly, and continued to ask: "Then if I promise you to worship Buddhism, would you like to become a monk?"

The nameless monk sighed, still shook his head, and said, "Unfortunately, it's too late, I've already made a decision."

Gu Shen was not disappointed, nodded, as he had guessed.

"I thought you would come, but I didn't expect you to come so soon." Gu Shen said softly, as if accepting his fate and compromising, he looked at the unknown monk with a trace of calm in his eyes, it was someone who gave up struggling knowing that he would die Calmly, he asked: "Master, can you just kill me and let my senior sister and daughter go."

The nameless monk nodded and said, "This is nature."

Gu Shen felt relieved when he heard the words. Although the unknown monk is standing on the opposite side of him now, but he is thinking of what to say. If he fails to grasp the chance of life and dies in the hands of the unknown monk, the senior sister and daughter are still alive. can survive.

"Ugh."

Gu Shen sighed, with a look of ashes in his heart, and said: "I know that Master's cultivation is unfathomable, and I am willing to die. If I can spare my family, I can also rest in peace."

The unnamed monk frowned slightly, looking at Gu Shen who was accepting his fate, the shallow smile on the corner of his mouth became more intense.

Gu Shen looked at the unknown monk and said, "Master, let me take you to find that red vertical eye. After I find it, I can transform myself, or Master kills me. Please keep my promise and not hurt my family." people."

Gu Shen said several times not to hurt his family, with a sad expression of dying, if anyone came, he would have believed that Gu Shen gave up struggling and was willing to lead his death to protect his family.

"Good." The unnamed monk stood up and said to Gu Shen: "Also ask Gu Benefactor to guide the poor monk."

Gu Shen nodded with a heavy expression, then picked up the teacup on the table and drank it in one gulp, saying: "After drinking this last cup of tea, today will return to ashes."

"Good." The nameless monk spit out the word "good" again, and with a smile on his face, he picked up the cup of tea on the table and drank it down like Gu Shen.

Gu Shen was dumbfounded by the behavior of the unknown monk. He drank this cup of tea to tell the monk that he had really given up resistance completely.

The two drank the tea on the table and walked out of the room back and forth.

In the courtyard, the green and yellow sycamore leaves fluttered down, landed in front of the window lattice, and landed on the eaves of the well.

Gu Xiao was sitting on the swing under the sycamore tree, and Zheng Lin pushed her gently from behind, making the little girl giggle.

Standing under the eaves, Gu Shen stared at this scene, as if he wanted to engrave the picture into his mind, remembering in his heart that this experience was too difficult, and his chances were too slim, and if he left this time, it might be a farewell.

I can't help but feel sad.

The road to practice is too difficult. Gu Shen thought he was low-key enough, but he never thought that he would end up dead.

Once you set foot on this road, life and death are beyond your control.

"Master, are you going to leave now? The meal is ready, let's leave after eating." Zheng Lin saw the two coming out of the house, and said.

The unnamed monk smiled lightly and shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, but today is too late."

Gu Shen said: "Senior Sister, I'm going out with Master to do something, so I won't eat at home."

After finishing speaking, Gu Shen looked at the unknown monk and said, "Master, let's go."

Now that the nameless monk has shown his minions, Gu Shen naturally doesn't want him to have too much contact with his senior sister and Xiaoxiao.

The nameless monk nodded.

After walking a few steps, the unknown monk suddenly stopped, turned to look at Zheng Lin, and asked with a smile: "Benefactor Zheng, do you still have pastries? The box of pastries that I gave me last time was very delicious. After eating Been talking about it for days."

Hearing that the unnamed monk wanted to eat pastries, Zheng Lin hurriedly said: "The pastries at home are all left over from the day before yesterday, and the taste is not good. You still have to eat freshly made pastries. Wait a minute, master. I will make more for you tonight. Send some."

The unknown monk smiled and said, "You don't need to bother, just give me a piece of pastry left at home, thank you benefactor."

After finishing speaking, the unknown monk put his palms together and thanked Zheng Lin.

"This—" Zheng Lin hesitated a little, and glanced at Gu Shen.

Gu Shen didn't know why this monk was going crazy for no reason, and he was still thinking about eating cakes at this moment.

Gu Shen wanted to scold her, this monk is so disrespectful, he was dying, and he didn't even say that he wanted to eat cakes, this monk is so troublesome.

But who makes the situation stronger than others? Since the monk wants to eat, he will give him the leftover pastries that don't taste good.

Gu Shen nodded.

Seeing Gu Shen nodding, Zheng Lin had no choice but to go to the kitchen to take out the leftover cakes, still put them in a small black box, and handed them to the unknown monk with some embarrassment.

The unnamed monk took the box and said, "Thank you, Master Zheng."

Opening the box, there were three pastries inside. The monk twisted one and put it in his mouth with a satisfied smile on his face.

After eating the cakes, the monk put the box away, looked at Gu Shen, and said, "Benefactor Gu, let's go."

Gu Shen nodded, "Okay."

The next moment, the two turned into a ray of light and flew into the sky, galloping away into the distance.

Gu Shen turned his head and took a deep look, the shadows of his senior sister and his daughter were reflected in his pupils. Finally, his heart skipped a beat, he drove Jinxia, ​​and flew south quickly, leaving the capital far behind.

Among the clouds, Gu Shen turned his head and glanced at the unknown monk who was walking slowly beside him as if walking in the garden. He was extremely afraid in his heart, and he was already hurrying with all his strength. He controlled the golden medal-level magic skill "Jinxia Escape", and his speed was almost comparable to that of Nascent Soul. A monk in the middle stage, but in front of this monk, he is like a turtle.

And Gu Shen was also a little worried, it went too smoothly, everything went so smoothly, he was going exactly according to his plan.

Gu Shen's previous plan was to bring the unnamed monk to the stele in the ruins of Caomiao Village. He still thought about how to persuade the monk, how to behave to make the monk more convinced, and also thought about many possible emergencies. The situation. Unexpectedly, the nameless monk was so easily led by the nose by him. He didn't even intend to ask the detailed location of the red vertical eye and then kill him before looking for it alone. Instead, he easily agreed to Gu Shen's proposal.

All this made Gu Shen feel unreal.

Qiuming Square, at home.

"Smile, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at Gu Xiao who burst into tears suddenly, Zheng Lin couldn't help asking worriedly.

Gu Xiao wiped away his tears and said, "Auntie, I don't know what's wrong, but I just want to cry, and it's very uncomfortable here."

Zheng Lin quickly asked: "Where is it uncomfortable?"

Gu Xiao stretched out his fingers and poked himself, telling Zheng Lin where he was.

Zheng Lin looked at the place Gu Xiao was pointing at, and couldn't help being taken aback.

There, is the heart.
